Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast

Once you start making some money in your real estate business, it’s easy to fall into the trap of figuring out your taxes later. Unfortunately, doing so puts you at risk of owing the tax man some serious cash. Even if you file an extension, the following tax year will roll around and you’ll owe even more. It can be tough to get out of that hole once you’re in it. I know from firsthand experience....

I’m going to shake the boat a little bit by saying this, but I believe that flipping vacant land and vacant land investing is better than houses.

I think our best days are ahead of us and it’s not worth it to complain about the past or be pessimistic about the future. I like to look at the future with excitement and anticipation. Right now, we might be heading into a...

Eventually,...

There are a lot of people that are killing it right now with vacant land, and hardly anybody knows about this.

As an entrepreneur, I love what I do and love running my own business. I’ve never looked at Mondays as having to get back into the grind like I did in the past with other jobs. But Mondays have been frustrating for me and I used to let them get out of control. Whatever you don’t get to by Thursday or Friday gets put off to Monday, which can make your to-do list hard to manage. On top of all those...

I’m in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho for a conference and I wanted to talk about some things that have been on my mind.

Most people reach out and tell me how awesome they are, how they went from zero to hero, and that they went from ea...

I've been using virtual assistants since 2006-2007.

We prefer to send out a generic, neutral letter that asks if the recipient wants to sell their land, a...
